EVE General Discussion

OP is an Alpha.
OP will be the first Alpha to plex.
OP is the mass or in other words a pleb.

Plebs should know their place.
Their place is under the Subscribers\People that pay with real money.
Their only role in the game is being the content for Subscribers.



No Racism vs Plebs, they are adorable but sometimes they start to riot\cry claiming the same rights as their masters and need to be tamed

But we don't agree and go around in circles, so i will go and something more constructive. Good day sir !

Righto, I can agree to disagree with you sir. :)

But I still want a definite answer from ccp one way or the other.


and if only subscription counts for the awards, then am I already borked on the next two months since I have 60days of banked plex time?

right.. but surely I'm not the only plexer that wants to know?

I'm saving them time by making a post they can easily respond to.

thanks for digging this up :)

Yeah they are limiting some of the items in game. As there has been a HUGE influx of accounts since the skill injectors, just check out eveoffline for the new account spikes which amount to about 15-20K accounts all told, which are all injector farming accounts and are all plexed.

Basically CCP is excluding all those style accounts in this offer to limit the rewards which in turn will screw anyone else that plexs their acounts.

Everyone that has ever subbed gets the Gnosis skin, so these will be the most prevalent items from the deal, anyone that subs one month at the time of expansion will get the last free ship, the armor set and googles and the gnosis skin, anyone that pays for 3 months will get all of it by my account of the deal.


From the way I have gathered it is that CCPs accounting policy is different for recurring subs than for plexs. AFAIK they state the recurring subs as income directly while the plexs income is a bit different as it can be claimed WHEN it is sold OR WHEN it is redeemed for game time. Which allows for a lot of account shenanigans if one wishes based on what is the best accounting policy. Delaying, or defering, income is a common practice for companies.

It also likely means CCP wants to bolster its income statements a bit with increased "income", perhaps for a bad quarterly or other such issues. But that is pure speculation on my part there. Ive just seen it on a lot of prospectus' in my days. You would be surpised at all the loopholes in accounting for companies for quarterly or year ends.

damn ive always paid a sub for my 2 accounts and just used plex this month as a 1 off :(

Thanks Ralph.

Now to the OP, what part of that says anything about PLEX users? If you are posting here, you are a "subscriber".

Should the accounting matching principle make the income of plex be counted when the plex is actually used/destroyed?

A plex is basically the same as paying a month to month subscription. CCP's internal system does;t give a rats ass how you pay for said sub. If you play eve right now, you are subscribed. its that simple. The only way you will not get the rewards, form my understanding, is if you let your subscription lapse (i.e. you don;t pay for it) in anyway. So stop paying with plex, sub lapses. Simple.


They have done this for years and i had an account i used to plex for a year till i got tired of wasting the isk and just forked out my cc. it got all the reward my other accounts did, and there was no mention during that time frame of a sub vs plex. A sub is a sub regardless of how you pay for it.
